Cubs Video
Grant Kipp has been on the fringes of being ranked in the top-20 over the last few seasons, and the 26-year old now finds his name on this list. While he's been given the bulk of his time starting in the minors, he's likely ticketed for an MLB bullpen, maybe even as soon as 2026. His slurve-y breaking ball is hell on right-handed hitters and his fastball plays up just enough sitting 92-94 as a starter that you could believe 93-95 could be in play from the pen. He's got good size and a nasty demeanor on the mound, too. There's a decent shot we get a look at Kipp in Chicago this year.
